Chapter 6: Naraku's Curse and Ethan

Everyone ran in after Inuyasha.
"Wow! I like his decorating skills!" Fae said.
"Stop being an ass and help!" Inuyasha barked.
"Ok, ok, your doggyness." Fae stated.
Fae looked around to find nothing special in particular, except when she found another room. She looked in the room by herself and once she stepped inside of it, the door slammed shut behind her. Fae ran to the door and found that it was locked. She heard her friends run to the other side of the door also.
"Fae! Are you ok?" Kagome called.
"Yeah, just get me the hell out of here!" Fae screamed. Right when Inuyasha unshielded the Tetsaiga, Naraku's voice alarmed them all.
"Now, now Inuyasha. Don't be hasty! I just want Fae for a gift, and in return, you can have all of the jewel shards." Naraku's voice lured on.
Everyone gasped at his offer. Inuyasha's face then turned brutal again.
"Hell no! Give back Fae!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Yes, I agree!" Miroku concurred.
"Shut up monk! No body asked you! But since you declined on my offer, you will have some difficulties with getting to her and with her from now on." Naraku hissed.
"What the hell will you do to her! Fae? FAE!" Inuyasha yelled, banging on the door.
"Inuyasha, HELP!" Fae screamed, and then there was no sign of her existence.
"You bastard! You better not have harmed Fae!" Inuyasha yelled. He then hit the door with his Windscar, but the door did not break down!
"What the hell!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh no!" Sango gasped.
"Stand back everyone!" Kagome yelled. She took out a bow and arrow and struck the door, and it still did not budge.
"How is it supposed to be broken down?" Miroku asked.
"The hell if we know or it would have been down by now!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Now Inuyasha, try not to panic. We just have to find a way to bust down this door." Kagome reassured.
"But how?" Shippo asked, sounding a little panicked.
Right then, a strange man ran into the room and shouted, "Stand back everyone!"
"Who the hell are you!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Just do as I say!" the man shouted.
"Hell-" he was interrupted by Kagome shouting 'SIT BOY'!
Everyone backed up, except Inuyasha, who slammed into the ground. This guy closed his eyes, put his hands together as if he was praying, and then he held both hands at the door. Out of his hands shot fire, as hot as lava, so everyone held their arms and hands in front of their faces. The door blew up in fire and then blew up. Smoke rose as the man ran into the room. He then came running out carrying Fae, who was unconscious, bridal style.
"Get out of here!" the man yelled. He ran out of the house and out of the building. The rest of them thought he was crazy until the building started to collapse. Everyone ran out of the village, watching it tumble into shambles. Once the man and Fae were at a safe distance, the man gently set her on the ground as the rest of the group watched the village. The man took off his shirt and placed it under Fae's head. Fae was pale with what looked like Sesshomaru's marks on her cheeks, but hers were black and crimson. Once the village collapsed, the group turned to see the man tending to Fae. Inuyasha ran to the other side of Fae and crouched by her side. He peered at her and then stared at the man as if he were a god.
"How did you know those things?" Inuyasha asked in bewilderment.
"Practiced my whole life." the man replied.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked.
"Not an enemy, I assure you. I am an alchemist. I help all I can, but there are some things I can't help. Your friend here has been given a horrible curse, especially since it was conjured up by Naraku." the man stated.
Everyone looked at him in awe. Shippo ran to a creek and fetched some water. He came back and slowly poured some onto Fae's forehead. Fae awoke coughing as she sat up.
"What...happened?" Fae asked between coughs.
"That's what we would like to know." Sango retorted.
"I don't remember much. I just remember being struck by some kind of purple magic." Fae answered, she rubbed her head, for she was fairly dizzy.
"Don't think too much, it might make you-" the man warned, but thousands of thoughts ran into Fae's head and it HURT! She screamed.
"Fae!" Inuyasha yelled, petrified.
The man grabbed her head and cleared her mind. Fae swayed groggily and saw the man, who was very blurry. His image seemed to emerge clearer when Fae saw that she did not know the man.
"Who are you?" Fae asked frightened.
"I'm a friend." the man said, holding up his hands so she could see that he came in peace.
"He saved your life Fae." Miroku explained.
Fae stared at the man as if he were crazy.
"Why did you save me?" Fae asked.
"It is my duty." the man answered.
"Your duty?" Fae questioned.
The man nodded and said, "I help people who need it."
"How did you help me?" Fae asked.
"I used my powers to break down the door that your friends here could not." the man replied. Fae looked at her friend's faces and they all nodded.
"What powers do you have?" Fae asked.
"Alchemy and some wizardry." the man told.
"You have wizarding powers!" Fae asked excitedly.
The man nodded.
"That's brilliant, so do I, at least I think so!" Fae almost screamed she was so happy. The man neither looked surprised or knowing.
"You will need somewhere to sleep." the man said, picking Fae up again.
"Wait one minute! What is your name?" Fae asked.
As the man started walking, he said, "I will only tell my name to good friends."
"But you said you are a friend to us. So what is it?" Fae asked, looking behind him to see her friends following, Inuyasha was beside them though.
The man looked at Fae slyly and when he looked ahead, replied, "You are very wise beyond your years. I shall only give you my first name for now, and that is Ethan."
"Ethan huh? I like it." Fae said smiling, and even though Ethan looked ahead, he also smiled.
Inuyasha looked at Fae as if she were nuts. Fae looked over at him and laughed.
